The end of a goblin era
Did you know that Gevlon actually wasn't any goblin at all in the first place? Or if he was, he was using a disguise all the time. "I'm Gevlon, a human paladin with quite a strange story". Those were the initial words in the first post written by the Greedy Goblin on September 6 2008. I'm ...

Pilgrims' Progress
For hundreds of years science fiction has predicted future technological developments. Leonardo de Vinci envisioned the submarine and the helicopter 400 years before scientific advancement made them a reality. Writers in the 1940s predicted cloning and sixty years later it too became a reality. ...

Are there really no women working at Blizzard?
It has probably been announced all over the place, but somehow I must have missed it. Yesterday however, I managed to stumble upon a special anniversary site that Blizzard has created to celebrate the recent birthday of WoW. And I was happily surprised at what I found. Apparently this site is ...

Some thoughts about nerfs
If anyone has missed it, there’s a golden opportunity now to power level your cooking skill almost for free thanks to the Pilgrim’s Bounty event. Tobold thinks this skill is given away too easily and adds: “Where is the fun in leveling a tradeskill when you can level it for a handful of silver ...

A sign that WoW has grown up
"For the Horde!" I jumped as I read the line this morning in Svenska Dagbladet, the second biggest national morning newspaper in Sweden, which I've always thought has an audience consisting of elderly conservatives, me being an exception due to heritage and habit. The triumphant sentence ...

The game in the game
It took me a couple of years of WoW playing before I realized that there was a game in the game. The battle for the top positions of the damage meter. For a very long time I was a naïve young (ahem) lady. My focus was always to get the boss down and I couldn’t care less about who did most or ...

How limited attempts risk to make raiding more dull
"OMFG not again!!! Larísa is about to complain about something she's seen in WoW or in the community! She's obviously on the verge of a burnout, she' hates the game, she should leave any day soon now." I can picture the comments as I'm writing this post. Just in order to show you that I'm ...

No, Mr T, this is not my game
I watched it. Once. Twice. I watched it three times and still I couldn't connect to it. On the contrary, it distanced me from the game and made me wonder if WoW really is the game of my heart. The only conclusion I can draw from it is that something must have gone seriously wrong with the new ...

The most annoying loot in WoW
Hands on heart, have many of you do regularly trash things that could be sold to a vendor or posted at AH? I do. All the time. I'm lucky that there's some magic device in Azeroth which makes the litter you throw out of your bag invisible. If it wasn't for that one, there would be an ...

Tickled Pink: Your First Instance
WoW.com has a neat little piece which links this to post giving advice to new players about running their first instance. What was your first instance or dungeon run like in Warcraft. Were you tickled pink? Elnia My first instance run featured me creeping alone though Black Fathoms Deep as ...

Rent Seeking in Warcraft
pinkpigtailinn.com — Economists define money as a medium of exchange and a store of value. One logical consequence of... this is that there must be an actual mechanism to exchange value. This mechanism by which stores of value are exchanged is called a market. As markets ... (more) Rent Seeking in Warcraft
The post where I assure the readers that I'm still a merry gnome!
pinkpigtailinn.com — Maybe it's just the season. The darkness coming over us will full force. Maybe it's the time... of the WoW cycle, in the gap between content patches. But isn't there a bit of gloominess in the air? Quite a few players seem to have gone into some kind of ... (more) The post where I assure the readers that I'm still a ...

Immersion starts with a passion for pointless pixels
So Blizzard is selling pets for real life gold, what's the big fuss about it? It's just pixels after all, right? Some bloggers and commenters find it hard to understand why people in the WoW community react so strongly, calling the criticism "nerdrage". I won't go into a deep analysis about the ...

Shop Smart, RMT Pet Shop…Smart?
pinkpigtailinn.com — Aghast. That’s the precise word to describe my reaction to Blizzard’s introduction of real money transactions to... the game. Aghast. Old timers will know why I am aghast but if you are new or just don’t recall go back and read this post wherein I ... (more) Shop Smart, RMT Pet Shop…Smart?
A different perspective on WoW charity
This post is probably going to be a little bit controversial. I tell you right from the beginning, so it won't come as a shock to you. Not Very Controversial, but controversial enough to make a few of the readers annoyed or at least a little bit disappointed, since they don't share my views. ...

Goodbye world!
And so began the evacuation of Azeroth. With Cataclysm still months away, Blizzard has already started to take measures to make sure that we stop patrolling the world. Our heroes are to take shelter in the major cities, leaving the poor civilians on their own. The new instant teleporting to ...
